[Safari 14]window.open with parameters will open in new window instead of new tab by default
In Safari 14, when we call window.open with parameters like
window.open("https://www.apple.com", "_blank", "noopener noreferrer"),
it will open the page in new window instead of new tab by default ("Open pages in tabs instead of windows" is set to Automatically).
While window.open without parameters like
window.open("https://www.apple.com", "_blank")
it will open in new tab.
And if we set "Open pages in tabs instead of windows" to Always, it will open in new tab.
Safari with old versions and other browsers are also opening page in new tab by default for this case.
So this should be a regression issue, please fix to keep the behavior consistent with window.open without parameters to open in new tab by default. Thanks.
